It's not as easy as you are describing it.

What matches were effected again? The only match confirmed was the main event. Nothing else had been booked. There was no trickle down effect. And, as you yourself have pointed out, creative has changed directions at the drop of a hat countless times when things weren't working out or the situation changed.

This is no different. They have existing storylines that could've easily been forwarded and extended via the tournament. They just chose not to.
